My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.

I've got a terrible memory; it's probably because I'm always concentrating on what I'm doing now.

To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
